Abstract

A handling robot used in a field of warehouse logistics comprises a mobile chassis, and a storage shelf. The storage shelf is mounted to the mobile chassis and comprises a plurality of layered plate components distributed at different heights. The handling robot further comprises a handling device configured to transport a material to a layered plate of the plurality of layered plate components, and a lift component configured to drive the handling device to lift relative to the storage shelf.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A handling robot, comprising:
a mobile chassis, the mobile chassis comprising:
a base; and
a driving wheel component, the driving wheel component comprising:
a hinge bracket hinged to the base, the hinge bracket being rotatable about a first axis relative to the base;
a driving wheel mounted to the hinge bracket, the driving wheel being rotatable about a wheel rotation axis relative to the hinge bracket, wherein the first axis is parallel to the wheel rotation axis; and
a shock absorber component, wherein the shock absorber component comprises:
a shock absorber configured to reduce vibration transmitted to the base, wherein a first end of the shock absorber is hinged to the hinge bracket and is configured to pivot around the hinge bracket, the shock absorber being rotatable about a second axis relative to the hinge bracket, the second axis being parallel to the first axis; and
an adjusting arm hinged to the shock absorber, wherein a second end of the shock absorber is directly hinged to a first end of the adjusting arm and is configured to pivot around the adjusting arm, wherein a second end of the adjusting arm is hinged to the base, and the second end of the shock absorber is indirectly hinged to the base through the adjusting arm, wherein the shock absorber is rotatable about a third axis relative to the adjusting arm, the third axis being parallel to the first axis, wherein the adjusting arm is rotatable about a fourth axis relative to the base, the fourth axis being parallel to the first axis;

a storage shelf mounted to the mobile chassis;
a handling device configured to transport a material to or from the storage shelf; and
a lift component configured to drive the handling device to lift relative to the storage shelf.

2. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the driving wheel component is a first driving wheel component, the mobile chassis further comprising a second driving wheel component;
wherein during rotation of the hinge bracket about the first axis, a spacing between the driving wheel of the first driving wheel component and a driving wheel of the second driving wheel component remains constant.

3. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises:
a base plate; and
a fixing rod provided on an upper surface of the base plate, wherein the second end of the adjusting arm is hinged to the fixing rod.

4. The handling robot according to claim 3 , wherein the adjusting arm comprises a stop portion configured to abut against the fixing rod.

5. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein when the adjusting arm is in a state where the adjusting arm abuts against the base, the adjusting arm cannot rotate towards a direction relative to the base, and the shock absorber is configured to provide an elastic force to prevent the adjusting arm from rotating toward another different direction relative to the base.

6. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting arm and the shock absorber are provided at an included angle.

7. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the hinge bracket as a whole is a vertical plate member.

8. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the storage shelf comprises:
two vertical beams; and
a plurality of layered plate components distributed at different heights, wherein each of at least two of the plurality of layered plate components is wholly supported by the two vertical beams and comprises:
a cross beam connected to the two vertical beams and supported by the two vertical beams; and
a layered plate connected to the cross beam and supported by the cross beam, the layered plate being configured to place a material, wherein a first end of the layered plate is close to the two vertical beams and a second end of the layered plate is suspended in the air and away from the two vertical beams.

9. The handling robot according to claim 8 , wherein the handling device and the plurality of layered plate components are disposed at different sides of the two vertical beams.

10. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the handling device comprises:
a temporary storage pallet for temporary storage of the material;
a telescopic arm mounted to the temporary storage pallet, the telescopic arm being configured to extend in a single direction relative to the temporary storage pallet; and
a U-shaped housing.

11. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the handling device comprises:
a handling assembly bracket configured to move upwards or downwards; and
a handling assembly mounted to the handling assembly bracket, the handling assembly being rotatable relative to the handling assembly bracket, the handling assembly being configured to transport the material;
wherein the handling assembly is provided with a first locking hole, and the handling assembly bracket is provided with a second locking hole;
wherein the handling assembly is not rotatable relative to the handling assembly bracket in a state where a locking pin is simultaneously inserted into the first locking hole and the second locking hole.

12. A mobile chassis, comprising a base and a driving wheel component, the driving wheel component comprising:
a hinge bracket hinged to the base;
a driving wheel mounted to the hinge bracket; and
a shock absorber component;
wherein the shock absorber component comprises:
a shock absorber configured to reduce vibration transmitted to the base, wherein a first end of the shock absorber is hinged to the hinge bracket and is configured to pivot around the hinge bracket; and
an adjusting arm hinged to the shock absorber;
wherein a second end of the shock absorber is directly hinged to a first end of the adjusting arm and is configured to pivot around the adjusting arm;
wherein a second end of the adjusting arm is hinged to the base, and the second end of the shock absorber is indirectly hinged to the base through the adjusting arm.

13. The mobile chassis according to claim 12 , wherein the driving wheel component is a first driving wheel component, the mobile chassis further comprising a second driving wheel component;
wherein during rotation of the hinge bracket about a first axis relative to the base, a spacing between the driving wheel of the first driving wheel component and a driving wheel of the second driving wheel component remains constant.

14. The mobile chassis according to claim 12 , wherein the base comprises:
a base plate; and
a fixing rod provided on an upper surface of the base plate, wherein the second end of the adjusting arm is hinged to the fixing rod.

15. The mobile chassis according to claim 14 , wherein the adjusting arm comprises a stop portion configured to abut against the fixing rod.

16.
